The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.
The 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.

2 is correct: "requests that" requires the following clause to be in the subjunctive, which is simply the base form of the verb.
Another version would be:
Mr. Hawkins requests that the information be sent.
